Can it: Thai Peanut Butter

Don’t worry, you’re not losing your mind, you read that title correctly. But just in case you’re second-guessing yourself I’ll say it again, Thai peanut butter.

If you’ve been to a Thai restaurant this shouldn’t be a huge shock. Peanut sauce is common in those eatateriums. I just turned what is usually a sauce into a butter, ready to spread on bread or use on chicken.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

8 oz peanuts

1 T coconut oil

1 T honey

1 t salt

2 T red curry paste

1/4 t cayenne pepper

WHAT TO DO:

Put peanuts in food processor and process for about a minute

Put the rest of the ingredients in the food processor blender and process for 2 minutes

Enjoy!

It really is that easy. Put your finished product in a jar, put a lid on it and it’ll keep for months in a cabinet, though I doubt it will be around that long. I made an open-faced sandwich with the spread the other day on rye bread. I added some garden onions and fresh basil to finish it off. It was pretty fantastic. I’m contemplating making a basil jelly to make a unique and, some might say, strange peanut butter and jelly.
